Official weigh-ins for “UFC 93: Franklin vs. Henderson” took place today at 11 a.m. ET (8 a.m. PT) live from The 02 in Dublin, Ireland.

The weigh-ins preceded tomorrow’s first UFC pay-per-view event of 2009, which features a main event between former champions Rich Franklin and Dan Henderson at light heavyweight.

All 20 fighters successfully made weight.

Both headliners came in light for the bout. With a 206-pound cutoff, Franklin weighed 203 pounds; Henderson was even lighter at 202.

Former heavyweight Mark Coleman slimmed down drastically for his light-heavyweight co-main event fight with Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. With a bald head, protruding abs and barely an ounce of body fat, Coleman, a 44-year-old UFC hall-of-famer, just made the limit after weighing in at 206 pounds. “Shogun” was 205.

Perhaps the biggest surprise was from the event’s preliminary card. Veteran Martin Kampmann, who was making his first cut from middleweight to welterweight, had no problems with the drop and actually weighed three pounds under the 171-pound limit. Although he was noticeably slimmer, fans have no reason to worry.

“He got here and started the cut at 173 pounds and just went a little deeper than he needed,” his agent, Ken Pavia, told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) after the weigh in. “The cut was easy, and he’s doing really well. No problems at all.”
